Hill is having one of the weirder seasons I can remember. His walk rate is up while his strikeout rate is steady – usually this indicates improvement. His BABIP is so low (.182) that I keep expecting him to come out of the slump, and it keeps not happening.

Looking deeper into his batted ball profile, his line drive rate has plummeted over 10% and all of those line drives have turned into fly balls. Hill needs to level out his swing, but I still think that BABIP is unsustainably low.

Wells on making All-Star team: “It’s good but it’s still lacking something.” Meaning? “Ultimate goal is to be playing somewhere in October.”

Does that mean that he wants a trade? I hope so, because he’s going downhill just like Hill and Lind, if he wants to make it to October maybe he should be helping the team win which he hasn’t been doing for the past month or 2 which he’s really started showing his 09 form again.

JS0101: Wells’ comments were not intended to mean he wants to be traded. He was simply saying that every year there are two goals: making the All-Star team and making the playoffs. Obviously right now, the second goal is not realistic.
